Re: [GUIDE] Root for HTC One SV

Soon as I get my new computer up and running I'll check it out, is it the clockworkmod image that's not working or the stock image?

Reply To Previous Post

Its the stock recovery thats not working, it just loads to the htc screen telling you to not mess with the build without htc's permisssion (in red) then just stays on the screen. Thanks for the reply

How to install k2u driver

To everyone having trouble with k2u drivers, try these steps

Go to "C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x86\androidusb.inf" if on 32bit windows or "C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64" if you are on 64bit windows. Open "androidusb.inf". Under "Device Section", subsection "For Windows 7 x64" (or x86) add line "%MyHTC%=HTCAND32.Dev, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0D0F&MI_00" for 32bit or "%MyHTC%=HTCAND64.Dev, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0D0F&MI_00" for 64bit without quotes

Go to device manager

Right click and "update driver software" for k2u or whatever device is showing the yellow error triangle

Browse my computer for driver software

Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

Have disk

Now browse to and select "androidusb.inf" from step 1

Select My HTC from the list and click next to install the driver.

Adb shell should now work in recovery also. Before you try these steps make sure you have htc drivers installed and also connect your device via usb to pc while in recovery. k2u shows up only if you connect in recovery.

Thanks to Fabriel for the earlier post

Factory Reset for soft brick

I messed around after rooting the phone yesterday and I ended up soft bricking it. The phone would boot up to start screen but only the notification bar was visible. Fortunately, I found a way to factory reset the phone.

Download the stock recovery from here

Got to fastboot and flash the stock recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img

Lock you bootloader from fastboot.

fastboot oem lock

Now go to bootloader and select factory reset
[HTC One SV] bkcokota:
Re: [GUIDE] Root for HTC One SV

You shouldn't need to lock the bootloader to do that. It seems like that may be an unnecessary step.
[HTC One SV] mripfreely:
Actually, it works only if you lock the bootloader. No idea why.

If the bootloader if unlocked, the factory reset will just restart the phone without any change.

I'm going to try to do the U in my kernel.. I need one tester that can follow directions. Send me a pm with what you can do. May be Monday before I have anything to test. Cricket custom kernel will have to wait a bit due to the sole fact that there's tiny differences. I can have it booting but there might be bugs with it. After I have all the devices on 3.4 ill start cm caf commons

Good morning.

Stock K2_UL kernel boots (besides, wifi not working).

JB is official, but there is no k2u source at htcdev, only k2ul.

[HTC One SV] Seanie280672:
OK, here we go, decided to carry on modding my rom a little whilst hopefully waiting for sense 5 to come to our device.

Ive included below 3 new Fusion.apk below, one at 70% trans, one at 50% trans and one at 100% trans (this one only really works with dark backgrounds) there's more to come yet, this is just the start, screenshots included.

to install, just download the zip file, all 3 fusions are included in there, unzip it and copy your preferred one to your sdcard, rename it to fusion.apk, then using something like root browser, navigate to your system/app folder, rename your old fusion.apk to something like fusion.old.apk or back it up to your pc then delete it, you may at this point get pop up errors, just ignore them, move the new fusion.apk to your system/app folder, adjust permissions and reboot your phone, this should work for all versions of this phone, its confirmed to work on the U, UL and CL

Just adjusted the 100% one to make the clock numbers clearer, re-uploaded the whole zip file: http://d-h.st/5Up

[HTC One SV] user1829:
i have unlocked via HTCDev

and downloaded and saved files to my SD,

i just cant work out the step between 3 & 4

i get to fast boot, but how do i type in that code?

i also dont know where the 'fastboot' folder is?

sorry for not knowing enough yet...

EDIT SOLUTION FOUND - MUST USE PC CMD prompt

now to find a nice new ROM...
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
There are really a lot of guides for fastboot out there, but anyway:

Download for windows this file and unzip it. Inside you find fastboot, adb and a "CMD starten". With "CMD starten" you open a cmd window on your pc (phone should be booted into fastboot mode and connected to pc).

In this cmd window you can type the code.

Begin with

fastboot devices

to see, if your phone is recognised.
[HTC One SV] user1829:
yes! there are, but none for the One SV really mention using the PC CMD prompt.

i started searching how to root other devices and they did explain this...

and thank you for your help!

perhaps the OP could be revised to help other n00bs as this thread is the first site that appears when you google ["one SV" recovery guide]

[HTC One SV] Seanie280672:
I know this is probably a bit late for this, but you said WiFi didn't work when you booted on the stock K2_UL, did you change you lib modules back to stock too ? As your using the Russian kernel and would of had to change these too to get WiFi working with that kernel.

Sorry I've been away for a bit and only just seen this (work commitments), really it should work as the only difference between the k2_u and k2_ul is the LTE.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Welcome back :)

I'm not totally sure, but when i remember right, i flashed back to stock before.

But i could also be wrong as it is some days ago and i did so much testing with other things, that i can't say for 100%.
[HTC One SV] bkcokota:
It could be down to the bootloader as well, I remember when I was testing a few things, depending on what I had just flashed I had to use a different bootloader to get WiFi working.
[HTC One SV] USRF_Sledge:
Hi there,

I hope you guys can and want to help me out here.

I bought the SV for my girlfriend last week. With use of this topic i did ...

unlock bootloader

install clockwork

install SuperSu

and ... gained root access

But .... every time I reboot the phone, all changes made to /system/app are gone. The complete folder is restored.

I've read the all the 81 pages of this topic and googled some hours, I've noticed that i'm not alone here, but the solution is a little above my head.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, do I stand correctly that the only way to make permanent changes to the /system/app folder (in other words; permanent remove bloat-ware) is to install an other kernel, with s-off? And what does the 's-off' exactly mean?

I've seen some kernels came along this topic, the Russian one is pretty famous. But i can't find a easy 1-2-3 to install it. (and I'm not sure if that is the only and correct path to follow).

I hope some of you can help me out. Thanks in advance!

(for the record, I'm not interested in overclocking, alternative ROMs or any of that .... unless it is the only way to accomplish my goal)
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
You are absolutely right, you can change system only with another kernel or S-Off.

S-Off is a complete unlock of your phone. You can change hboot, splash screen, radio, with it.

As long as you are S-On, flash the kernel zip in recovery and extract boot.img from it and flash this with fastboot. But this is also described in kernel thread.
[HTC One SV] USRF_Sledge:
Tnx for your quick and helpful reply Mr Spletterhand.

If you don't mind me asking; What is the 'must have kernel' and what are the downsides?

Just a minute ago I might have found an other work around over here goo.gl/KKzfqc (Sorry, because I'm a newbie, XDA does not allow me to post URLs)

Is this likely to work?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Don't know, if this works. And to be honest, there is no need for another method, changing kernel is easy to do and mostly save (but of course if not done correctly it can everytime go something wrong).

As jmz kernel is made for S-Off, you should choose russian kernel.

Are you on boost mobile?
[HTC One SV] USRF_Sledge:
Tnx again Splatterhand.

I'm on my way to the Kernel thread (this board is way too big :D) see if I can find a Russian 'JMZ' kernel.

No downsides on this kernel, like malfunctioning WiFi or so ?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
No, not russian jmz! If you are not on Cricket or Boost mobile (US) you can use this one. You must have a k2u or k2ul.

No downsides.
[HTC One SV] USRF_Sledge:
One word .... Awesome :good:

I've spent hours on this :silly: (I know newbies asking without reading/searching are not appreciated)

Maybe the OP can update his post with a little marker about this 'you've gained root access, but actually you can't do **** with it' :D
[HTC One SV] ironhide602:
JMZ Kernel worked fine on my cricket htc one sv. k2plccl uses same partition layout as k2_ul and k2_u. boost is different.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Yes, of course. Maybe i said not good enough.

I meant russian and jmz kernel

are different

. And

russian kernel

works definitely on k2u & k2ul (i don't know, if also on cricket).
[HTC One SV] Seanie280672:
Does JMZ kernel work on K2_U and UL ?

I had a guy on here flash my rom, he has the K2_CL and it worked fine except he told me WiFi hotspot didn't work on his phone with the Russian kernel which is built into my rom, everything else worked fine.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Yes, but you need to be S-Off to install.

HTC ONE SV - Followed steps, flashed & unlocked but did not root.

Hi, I followed these exact steps.

Unlocked the bootloader.

Then installed clockwork recovery via fastboot and flashed superuser in recovery all as the steps say to do.

There's just one problem, I have superuser installed and clockwork etc but my phone say's not rooted?! When in hboot it says 'Unlocked' and 'Tampered' So i know that part has worked.. Could somebody please help me?:mad:
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
If your phone has booted, do you have Superuser app in appdrawer?
[HTC One SV] vshoot88:
Yes I have found superuser app and when I tried opening a program it said superuser denied permission and that the phone was not rooted.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
What version of the device do you have? Boost mobile?
[HTC One SV] vshoot88:
I have the HTC onesv. Its a plain black phone on a Vodafone cap with jb 4.2 I think. As far I'm concerned there was only one version to purchase when I went for the phone.
[HTC One SV] Seanie280672:
Yes there is only one version to purchase, depending on where you live or who you buy it from, UK for instance have the K2_UL and the rest of Europe have the K2_U, or you can buy it from Boost mobile which is something like the K2_CL, they are all slightly different in some way or another, to find out which one you have, just boot into the HBOOT and it says at the top of the screen, you can either download quickboot from playstore for this or turn your phone off, remove the battery, put the battery back in then hold volume down and power button together till it boots.
[HTC One SV] vshoot88:

Yup and Moonshine S-OFF, currently trying to build a rom for it, you can find my rom on old.splatterhands index
[HTC One SV] vshoot88:
Maybe I could try your rom out if my device was rooted -_-

Do you think you could help me to find out where I went wrong?

Because I'm clueless, I had issues rooting my Desire HD but i was able to find out where I went wrong as that was a lengthy process, this is just a simple 5 step process almost after the bootloader is unlocked. Recovery worked just fine, but like said it has a shaky screen.
[HTC One SV] Seanie280672:
Yes there is a frame buffer issue with CWM recovery, you can download the other recovery instead, its the one I use, TWRP from old.splatterhands index again, here's the link to his page, everything can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292432

Do you have ADB installed on your PC ? and the ADB drivers etc

After you have flashed that recovery, try and flash SuperSU instead of the standard super users, once you've flashed SuperSU and restart your phone, you will need to open SuperSU, it will probably tell you your device isn't rooted and ask if you would like to do this now, of course the answer is yes, you will need to also update the binery.
[HTC One SV] vshoot88:
Yes, I installed ABD and and the drivers to go with them im pretty sure.

What's SuperSU and where can I download that? Is that like the premium version of SuperUser?

The shaking in recovery doesn't really bother me I can live with that for now.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Try this zip:

- Superuser + Busybox as flashable zip

If it also don't work, take this:

- SuperSU as zip for flashing
[HTC One SV] Seanie280672:
You need ADB and the drivers to flash the recovery files, kernels and radio's etc, the super user and supers zips are flashed from within recovery
[HTC One SV] vshoot88:
I followed step by step word for word on the HTC dev site, installed the drivers in SDK that it told me to.
[HTC One SV] Matlevo12:
A few things :

- the k2_ul is available in otjer countrues the in the uk. I have one in france, got it directly from my phone operator (not online) and the 4g kicks ass.

- no need to root to flash a rom, as long as you have a custom recovery

- if you succeeded in flashing a custom recovery, getting root access shouldn't be a problem. Try old.splatterhand's links.

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

this is presuming the recovery.img is in the same directory as fastboot, you can either move it or point the code to it directly

I find these instructions hard to understand. Can someone post up some instructions that aren't so vague? Like how to point or place the recovery.img in the correct location on the phone? And what to do thereafter?

Thx.
[HTC One SV] Seanie280672:
First of all, do you have Android SDK tool on your PC, if not download mine from below and extract to the root of your C: drive on your computer, i.e. not in any folders, once extracted, open the folder called android-sdk, then the folder called tools, in there you will find adb, fastboot and all other sorts of files, you need to place the recovery file in this same folder with the rest of the files.

You can download the recovery file of your choice from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292432

Myself I use TWRP recovery, extract the file and rename it to recovery.img for ease, this is the file you want to place in the tools folder where fastboot and adb etc files are.

You then need to plug in your phone into your computer, and reboot your phone into the boot loader, you can do this easily by downloading an app to your phone called quickboot from playstore.

once in the bootloader, windows will load the drivers for your phone, MAKE SURE, if this is not already done, that you wait for it to finish and MAKE SURE all drivers are installed OK, you can check this in device manager on your PC, if any are missing, then investigate it before proceeding with the flash, Android 1.0 driver, also known as My HTC driver has always been the problem one, it can be solved by installing HTC Sync and then uninstalling HTC sync but leaving the drivers behind, The HTC sync software itself interferes with fastboot commands and you don't want that.

Once all is ok, select fastboot on your phone, this is done using the up and down volume keys and power button to select, it should say on the screen, FASTBOOT USB. go back to you PC and open command prompt (run as administrator), at the main C:\ type cd android-sdk, then enter, then type cd tools, then enter again, then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or the name of your recovery file (the one you placed in the tool folder, file names MUST match, command prompt will let you know when the operation is complete, simple command really once you get used to Linux commands, you are basically telling fastboot that you would like to flash a recovery file and telling it the name of the file all on the same line.

You can then reboot your phone and unplug it or boot into your new recovery.

IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH LOADING DRIVERS FOR YOUR PHONE OR COMMAND PROMPT COMMANDS THEN GIVE UP NOW BEFORE YOU KILL YOUR PHONE.
[HTC One SV] Burginthorn:

Firstly, thank you.

Your instructions worked beautifully :good:
[HTC One SV] Seanie280672:

[HTC One SV] Burginthorn:

[HTC One SV] Seanie280672:
You should beable to use quickboot from play store, or shut down you phone, remove the battery, put the battery back in then hold down the volume down button and power at the same time to get to the bootloader and then select recovery from there.
[HTC One SV] Burginthorn:

One more thing I need help with. I downloaded busybox from the playstore and installed it, but upon install (the first time) it crashed the phone and caused it to reboot.

Did you grant Root access? Check Superuser or SuperSu. Which one do you use?

You can goto that same link that I gave you for the recovery files old.splatterhands index, and download superuser and busybox as a flashable zip, then copy it to your sdcard on your phone, reboot your phone into recovery and flash it, once your phone is back on and up and running you can stick with superuser or change it to superSU if you prefer and also update the busybox binary.
[HTC One SV] Burginthorn:
old.splatterhand - I am using SuperSU from the playstore. Any apps that I install and use are given root access via SuperSU as soon as it pops up asking for it. Is this what you mean by granting root access?
